Gratitude BEYOND It’s up to individuals as to what they do with their money. Everyone’s different. We were just brought up to give back. art biddLe Patient of Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare 6 annual report 2009 “ “ each year during the holidays, elmhurst resident art biddle mails a card to his surgeon, dr. gabriel ubatuba, which simply says, “i’m still alive.” he often sees his primary care physician, dr. phillip cozzi, “so he knows,” says biddle. When three generations rely on the same hospital for three decades, they get to know the place. And when one man credits his physicians for saving his life, it really gets personal. So in gratitude, Art Biddle and his wife made a donation and became part of the transformation. He did it to show his appreciation and his respect; he did it for the next generation. Now he brings his grandson, Liam, to watch the new building go up. Someday, Liam may be a grandfather, too, with his own stories to tell. The Grateful Patient program was established by the Foundation as a way for patients to show their thanks and appreciation for the care they received at Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare by making a donation.
“ It was electric in the gym. By the time the varsity game started, the entire bleacher section was filled shoulder to shoulder, everybody in pink. “ nancy d’amore director of Public Relations/Volleyball Varsity Assistant Coach, immaculate Conception High school Although the Immaculate Conception High School’s volleyball teams are skilled competitors, the coaches know that they are not just building athletes — they are building character. The teams demonstrated this last fall by organizing the Volley for a Cure event at their school and raising $3,000 — more than they could have imagined — to support breast health services at the Hospital. While a net separated the girls from their rival school’s teams, a sense of community brought them together. That night, it was clear that this was more than just a game. coach jean field, a strong supporter of the cause and the event, felt great pride as she witnessed the excitement and drive of the girls as they worked together to create a truly memorable experience for a greater good. Teamwork BEYOND The Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Foundation is proud and grateful to benefit from community events such as the Volley for a Cure, the Tickled Pink event hosted by the Elmhurst Junior Women’s Club and others that help us carry out the mission of the Hospital to enhance the health of the customers and communities we serve.
